I first registered this account - my first - April 20, 2007. Since then, I've gotten involved pretty deeply in AfD work. I see it as a chance to triage articles that are flawed, but may yet have potential. If you need access to a Wikipedia article that has been deleted, ask me. If it's not a copyright violation, libel, or personal information, and has not been deleted as a suspected biographies of living persons violation, I will userfy the article for you. Note that using the text to recreate any deleted article may automatically qualify them for speedy deletion, and copies of previously deleted content that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion because Wikipedia is not a free web host. We have a list of alternative sites which may be used to host your content. I maintain a sock account AVPW primarily for use on public networks. In the event of a compromised account, I specifically request any administrator to honor a request from AVPW to block this account, and absolve you in advance of any repercussions. To do list:

Reason: Hello fellow editors, I am submitting a request for an increase in page protection for the Trade Republic Wikipedia page, due to a growing issue of vandalism that is part of a larger fraud operation. Fraudsters are repeatedly adding false information, such as fake personnel and entities, in order to impersonate the official company and scam unsuspecting customers. This has led to hundreds of people falling victim to these scams, believing they are interacting with the legitimate Trade Republic bank when they are, in fact, transferring money to fraudsters. One of the fraudulent websites involved in this scam is hxxps://cfd[.]traderepublicatrading[.]com, which impersonates Trade Republic using the fake entity 'Trade Republica' that scammers add to the page. The false information added to Wikipedia is being leveraged by these scammers to lend credibility to their operations, causing significant financial harm to users who trust the content on Wikipedia. Given the seriousness and the real-world impact of these malicious edits, I believe higher protection is necessary to prevent further abuse. We have had hundreds of cases of individuals falling victim to this scam, and extended protection would go a long way in ensuring the integrity of the page and protecting the public from being misled. I hope the community and administrators can consider this request for longer-term protection to safeguard both the page and its users. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue, Secbot at Trade Republic (talk) 13:39, 11 October 2024 (UTC) Reason: War editing due to "Legacy" section, users stopped to add "Grounded Videos" on Legacy section, despite this, there are a real problem, some users continue to add text revealing Caillou with these next sources : [1][2][3]. An example, if I show my "Wrapper Offline" series at Stade Le Gallo (AC Boulogne-Billancourt) and they filmed an episode of my series and upload it on YouTube, posted it on Facebook or make an article on their website (see here), these sources are reliable? IMO, YouTube is not reliable, is Facebook, Twitter, Instragram and ACBB Foot website are reliable? Do we need reliable sources like Le Parisien, BFM, Sky News, CNN, BBC or other French and especially English real sources to add "Grounded Videos" on Legacy section? IMO, if this war editing don't stop, unless the users find a consensus on the discussion page (see talk), the best is or protect the page or use a filter. Thanks.

I want to add a little information inside the template since houthi is already added on the Belligerents side i think we should add the casualties of the yemani also in the template same as egyptians or syrians especially those who died as resulted from isreali airstrike and according to those articles 20 July 2024 Israeli attack on Yemen and 29 September 2024 Israeli attacks on Yemen, the yemani casualties are 20 killed, and +147 injured 70.26.36.11 (talk) 03:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC) In the second paragraph it states that "The desire to prevent the collapse of the Palestinians and to avoid more refugees were some of the reasons for the entry of the Arab League into the country, which began the 1948 Arab–Israeli War." It is absurd to characterize the invasion by the Arab league into Israel, which triggered the War of Independence as an "entry". The words "entry of" should be changed to "invasion by" which is supported by the source text and just about every other paper on the Israeli War of Independance.

Autopatrolled[edit]
GnocchiFan has made 5,000+ edits this year alone including seven Good Articles. They make extensive use of WMF Library to improve sourcing and prose. I believe they are both an excellent editor and also communicator, evident at sensitive article topics at 1984 anti-Sikh riots and Gender and sexual minorities in the Ottoman Empire. In short, let's reduce NPP backlog by giving them auto-patrolled status. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 12:11, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
Requesting immediate archiving... – DreamRimmer (talk) 00:04, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Meets the minimum criteria, and a random sampling of their creations doesn't raise any red flags. My only concern is their liberal use of quotations in reception sections, but I don't consider it an overly serious issue for this permission as the copyright reports come away otherwise clean; I've also started a discussion on their talk page about it. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 18:54, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia Admins, I am requesting the Autopatrolled right to further support my contributions to Wikipedia. While I may not have thousands of edits or article creations, my work is rooted in careful research and learning from experienced editors. My focus is on Iranian early modern, modern, and contemporary art and culture, especially highlighting the stories of Iranian women often overlooked in history. I ensure all my edits are supported by reliable, academic sources, and I have a track record of accurate contributions with very few reverts. I believe that having the Autopatrolled right would allow me to continue enhancing the articles related to Iran and Iranian art and culture. Thank you for your consideration. Warm regards, Hounaam (talk) 22:53, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
I am requesting the Autopatrolled right, like any other editor, to help reduce the NPP work load. I have worked at AFC/NPP/AFD, and I've created good articles that would pass a deletion discussion if nominated. Cheers! Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 11:47, 7 October 2024 (UTC)

Page mover[edit]
I often move poorly-titled pages to more appropriate titles, usually to make them more WP:CONCISE, specific, neutral, or to correct spelling and transliterations. I also revert undiscussed moves in line with WP:RMUM. I would greatly appreciate having the ability to manage this myself. Skitash (talk) 21:43, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
I'd like to get this right to delete unnecessary redirects (i.e. move pages over existing single revision redirects regardless of target). Additionally, I would also like to try to harmonize some pages of Spanish municipalities with the name of the country and the province (when necessary) instead of other subnational units (such as comarca). Moreover if a double denomination exists in some cases, I shall use the slash with spaces in between to enhance visual effect of different linguistic nomenclatures. However if an English form is more relevant I shall use it instead of double and local denominations. Other than that I could help elsewhere to move pages if necessary. Thank you, Nuvolet (talk)

Pending changes reviewer[edit]
Hello hello, I have been a Wikipedian for well over 4 months now, and I feel that I have learned a great many things about the site in terms of editing, content, policies, and conduct that I could have never imagined beforehand. If given this right, I humbly commit to using it to the utmost competent and fair / legitimate nature that I possibly can. Thank you Aliy Dawut (talk) 02:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
I have been contributing to pages for three years now, with prior experience in patrolling edit filter log. I would like to get reviewer rights so I can contribute to Wikipedia in more ways than I am able to, presently, and help with the backlog. Since my last request in July, I've been making a track record of communicating collegially with other editors, in my talk page and elsewhere. I hope you'll consider me. Thank you. — hhypeboyh 💬 • ✏️ 23:11, 13 September 2024 (UTC)
I've been doing RC Patrolling (as a part of Anti-Vandalism) on Wikipedia for a while now, and I think that having the Pending Changes reviewer permission could be a good idea - there have been numerous instances involving a pending changes edit that I look at while looking through Special:RecentChanges that i wanted to accept/deny/etc, and i feel that this permission would be beneficial for my efficeincy. DM5Pedia 04:34, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I believe that I'd be a good Pending Changes Reviewer, as I have a good amount of time on my hands, and can do monotonous tasks, like denying obvious vandalism, and the like. I meet, what I believe are all the requirements for this right, and humbly ask to receive this privilege. Thanks in advance! Legendbird (talk) 09:06, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: I am an Wikipedian for more than three years and part of various wikiprojects I need permission to expand my works on Wikipedia and also to observe Wikipedia articles. Cactinites (talk) 15:28, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi! I've been using Wikipedia on-and-off since 2020, but I'm starting to become more active. I'd like to become a pending change reviewer, as I've often wanted to help out but have struggled finding where I can actually contribute, and I think this is a good place to contribute. I'm familiar with the guidelines, as well. Thx56 (talk) 21:28, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

Reason for requesting pending changes reviewer rights: I have been a wikipedia editor for some time now and love to revert vandalism and unconstructive edits to prevent the spread of problems on wikipedia. I currently am a Recent Changes patrol and love my job! I have successfully achieved 1000 total edits (or ~ 325 mainspace edits) on the english wikipedia. I can't wait to be a pending changes reviewer, as it will allow me to stop the spread of vandalism even farther! Thanks, Cooldudeseven7 (Cheers! Let's Discuss over a cup of tea!)

Hello! I am a Wikipedian with a heavy focus on anti-vandalism work and would like this permission to be able to further contribute to the field. I have read the basic content policies, WP:BLP, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V, and WP:NOT. Also, I have contributed with many vandalism reverts and am already familiar with what vandalism is and is not WP:VANDAL and already have the rollback right. I have also read WP:COPYRIGHT and have helped a little bit in deleting copyvios that already existed. I would love to be able to help even more and expand what I can do. Thanks, 🔄️TryAgainSooner🕑 🗣️ 21:16, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Rollback[edit]
I have been working to revert vandalism for some time now, mostly patrolling Recent changes. I have used Twinkle and RedWarn to revert vandalism and warn vandals. Rollback rights would make it easier for me to revert obvious vandalism. Thanks. Charliehdb (talk) 10:57, 28 September 2024 (UTC)
I've been editing since 2015, with almost 80K edits, and have experience patrolling recent changes such as those in my watchlist. I'm familiar with policies such as VANDAL and WARN, and regularly use appropriate edit summaries and warning templates, through the use of Twinkle and RedWarn. Having rollback rights would help me revert clear cases of vandalism more effectively. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 15:35, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
I have been engaging in recent changes patrolling for some time now, so I'd like to request rollback permission primarily to be able to use tools, so that I can patrol more quickly and efficiently. Thanks. Kovcszaln6 (talk) 17:38, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
I've been actively patrolling recent changes for a significant amount of time and have developed a solid understanding of Wikipedia’s guidelines on vandalism and disruptive edits. Throughout this period, I’ve consistently identified and reverted problematic edits, but doing this manually can be time-consuming. Having rollback rights would allow me to handle these issues more quickly and efficiently, helping ensure Wikipedia stays a reliable resource. I’m committed to using these tools responsibly and continuing to contribute effectively to the project. Thank you DelphiLore (talk) 19:11, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
I regularly patrol the recent changes page using filters that flag edits that may have problems or could be vandalism. With confirmed vandals, I keep an eye on their contributions for a short time afterwards to catch any resumed vandalism, while continuing to patrol recent changes. I previously used RedWarn, but I currently use UltraViolet and Twinkle. Rollback would enhance my recent change patrolling and anti-vandalism efforts. Thank you. R0paire-wiki (talk) 04:48, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have seen multiple non-notable articles specifically about pages of Indian armed forces officials which have been vandalised and since they are not visited regularly by people with rollback rights, it is difficult to revert them line by line. Sensitive regional topic related articles too aren't regularly visited by editors, hence once vandalised, it may take weeks or even months for such articles to get to the notice of mainstream editors. I generally resort to line by line editing and proof reading of such articles which I find, hence have less reverting and undo count. I am a trusted editor, hence any concerns about misuse of this right may be disposed. VSankeerthSai1609 (talk) 08:08, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I have read all the policies and guidelines, I have 200 mainspace edits. Can I get Rollback? Electrou (formerly Susbush) (talk) 10:00, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
Reason for requesting rollback rights: I have done TWO rollback rights request, and I am happy to say that I have surpassed 200 mainspace edits and have also surpassed 1 month of Recent Changes Patrolling.I love the ability to help, and I already love to prevent vandalism with the help of Ultraviolet and Twinkle. I am ready to join the rollbacker force to get access to more tools, like AntiVandal and Huggle for even faster response. Don't worry, I won't bite the newcomers unless necessary!
